More than 40 lotus plants at the Xi'an Botanical Garden entered their peak viewing period. The lush and round lotus leaves looked like emerald disks floating on the water. The flowers of the king lotus were large and beautiful, typically blooming in the evening and closing the following morning. Their blooming period only lasts for three days, and the flower colors change dramatically.

The large leaves and exquisite flowers attracted numerous visitors, especially children who, with the assistance of staff, stepped onto the lotus leaves to experience "floating on leaves."
